ArmA Progress Updates

[aus_twisted 0]

I certainly don't wish to piss on anybodys parade but correct me if i'm wrong in that these visuals could also be achieved with the current OFP.

LOL you must be blind, OFPR and VBS1 lighting and shadows cant compare with the newer engine in Armed Assault.

The game will look a lot better actually playing it instead of watching some low res video with compression that has a lot of color loss, you can clearly see missing colors in the smoke because of the video compression just like compression does in JPEG images.

Compare this pic of a russian fellar in ofp with that video

I hope that face is not your or of a your friend!

I was refering to current available addons and reworked configs but thanks for giving me a belly busting laugh with that picture. He certainly is a handsome dude. A typical russian i presume  

Also AUS_Twisted you've converted me because i didn't notice the lighting as it looks natural which although being far superior to OFP in the real world it's just normal, so hard to notice...

Have you noticed also in OFP (also your pick Espectro) how the soldiers hands often have a different skin colour to his face?    I hope ArmA will have fixed that too!

Great to see that new ArmA trailer though. I don't think the poor video quality helped to show it off very well though but the atmosphere was there and a great draw distance!  Oh those mountains!

The animations are looking nice now too. I just hope they fixed that dislocated arm!

Don't forget that Armed Assault is the game that ends the need for any other game!

They should put a warning on the box cover: "Can change your few about games dramatic. You will dislike 99% of the new games because they are nothing compared to this game!" After the health-warning about drugs of course, because Armed Assault has the same impact on your nerves system as cocaine

Nah, just from my point of view

Well done BIS Team!

(Finally I can Post!

WOW! I'm so disgustingly happy about ArmA. I simply cannot wait. Seeing the soldier on the mountain looking down into a valley just makes me start thinking.

*Assault on a city...sniper support from a mile away*

Also just urban helicopter LZ's..wow.

I think I might explode...

Its a pretty good trailer, I wonder why the frame rate was really low when that truck was passing by.

The music is excellent!

[sputnik monroe 102]

Looking good.

I think there might be a few more vehicles in the final release than shown in the video. I do remember a screenshot with a Ural with no canvas tarp covering the back, I'm sure there will be a open 5ton truck also.

Keep in mind also that when Operation Flashpoint first came out it didn't include the Apache, Chinook, Kiowa, BMP2, BRDM, Hummer, Frogfoot, Trabant, M167 or Bradley. Those were added later in upgrade patches. It's a little funny how this time the BMP2 is already in but perhaps the BMP1 might be the upgrade pack vehicle this time.

This is because the hands have camo paint on them or at least thats what i think is the reason.

Nice Hummve with a tow launcher!

While my theory about no jets (not planes) in the game stands still, as long as mod makers CAN include them then great.

I wonder if the MG on the tank in manable cause that would rock!

All and all it looks like OFP with alot of improvment. I will be getting this game for sure. Hope they find a pub soon cause the game looks ready.

Great job guys!

I thought they were supposed to be gloves..

(well, either that or they are made out of wood, because thats what those hands look like   )

EDIT: But the ArmA heads/hands look extremely realistic to me!

Just saw the video and whoa,BIS sure has been busy and are doing an excellent job,I love how in the animations of the walking soldiers...so smooth and their body's move up and down alittle bit as they walk. And I could be wrong but I think the blackhawk at the urban LZ has reflections on the glass! (watch the doors mostly)

The entire soldier model and textures look very realistic,their movement so smooth,I like the movement,gives good atmosphere,the view distance is incredible and the soldiers looking around is defnatly a plus. Who can't love the part where the soldiers are overlooking a city? And the end of the move is great,I'm glad to see BIS didnt pretty up the pics afterall,its all as it looks. We love you BIS!

I can only imagine the possibilitys of planning an attack on a city that is 1/2 mile below you *drools*

this game is endless!

This I'm afraid, will haunt me in my sleep until I can satiate my cravings for it...

Nice trailer BIS team

My only question to BIS "Are We There Yet"

[-Grenadier- 0]

I can't believe how much better than OFP this is looking now!

on the music!

[Journeyman 0]

Could this be a river?    Or a canal?  ...Right at the end of the new video where the soldier is looking out over the valley there is a winding black?? If it is a road why does it appear to have a shore? It is also in the bottom of the valley and has no markings. It could just be a road with markings not showing due to distance and the shore is ??. . Any thoughts?

[-TL- 0]

If you are talking about the thing on the closest side of the valley, I think it is an asphalt road with a gravel shoulder -- notice that it intersects with another such feature off to the left.

Wonder if the theme used on the trailer will be ingame..or a longer version.

I hope, I think it would make a great supplementary theme to OFPs original.
